This facility helps to keep household hazardous waste out of the normal waste stream where it is harmful to the environment.

Household hazardous waste includes many items used to keep homes clean and lawns maintained.

One way to reduce the amount of household hazardous waste generated is to use all of the material. This means buying only the amount needed to do the job.

If materials are left over, ask a friend, neighbor, or community organization if they need it before disposing. This may save a trip to the household hazardous waste facility and may help others.

Household Hazardous Waste

Toxic & Poisonous - Capable of causing injury or death through ingestion, inhalation, or skin absorption.Corrosive - Can eat away materials and living tissue by chemical reaction.Reactive - Can react with air, water, or other substances and result in explosions or toxic fumes.Flammable & Combustible - Can undergo spontaneous combustion at relatively low temperature thereby presenting a significant fire hazard.

When transporting materials for disposal, place leaking containers in a sturdy, sealed container (5 gallon max) packed with an absorbent material such as cat litter or crumpled newspaper. A heavy duty plastic bag may also be used.

Materials should be transported in the vehicle's trunk in case of spills.

Secure containers so they are upright and immobile.
